ABSTRACT
PLEASE NOTE:
| Verbal metaphor is used in the linguistics to compare two things that are different to make them appear as one. The study contends that verbal metaphors should not be the only means of communicating phenomenon of hunger,and owing to this, it should be explored beyond language meaning. The problem of this study therefore, is that verbal metaphor does not address the issue of phenomenon of hunger in Nigeria in concrete forms.The study therefore, explores the problem of how the transformation of verbal metaphor into sculptures can address the issue of phenomenon of hunger in Nigeria using „readymade food vessels‟. In this study, what constitute knowledge are the analytical creative sculpture processes; the art work and their interpretations, theorising of the art works creates to give insight. To this end, the study pays attention to how to explore themetaphors within the five objectives of the study. Based on the objectives, the study created sculpture installation from „readymade food vessels‟.The study uses food vessels as multiple media that integrate visual balance, in making meaning of events. The metaphor „Food for Thought‟ is used in producing sculptures with „readymade food vessels‟. The study creates sculptures which are derived from phenomenon of hunger. The study creates a site specific sculpture installation of visual metaphor which emphasises idea and form. This study is justified because,by its attempt to transfer metaphors into visual forms using „readymade food vessels‟,it has partly answered the pondering question about the significance of art.The review of related literature reveals that, although some artists have created sensuous relations or materiality in art as visual metaphors, they did not derive it from dialectical means of those words that discuss phenomenon of hunger in Nigeria. The qualitative methodology which involves art practice based research and intuitive inquiry are used to present in details the sequence of the study to create knowledge. For the purpose of data (information) collection, the study adopts the primary and secondary sources of information method. The exploration and discussion of data (information collected) involve the use of observation, visualisation and exploration which are based on five intuitive stages. In the course of exploring verbal metaphors into sculptures, the findings are thatit is possible to create sculpture installationsfrom „readymade food vessels‟. The study found that „readymade food vessels‟ transformed from their utilitarian function to become visual metaphors in sculpture that convey phenomenon of hunger.It was also found that the metaphor „Food for Thought‟ transformed into alternative form in sculptures which embody intellect.The study further found that alternative sculpture was derived as an analogy of the phenomenon of hunger which was presented as a thought process in visual thinking. It was alsofound that a site specific sculpture installation which emphasises idea and intellect is possible to be achieved. Consequently the study holds that, verbal metaphors rematerialize into visual metaphors in sculpture, to give insight, to the phenomenon of hungerin Nigeria. The study therefore concludes that exploration of sculpture using „readymade food vessels‟ has become visual text which conveys in concrete forms,the phenomenon of hunger in Nigeria. The study, having identified some of the problems that may require further studies recommends that other materials, techniques, and Nigerian idioms should be explored in visual form. |
